of these wasthst it was far better for s

kept a religious silence was that of prais-

His wife loved him with that fond pri-

the result of their tactful nuumgement
of apparently refractory husbands who
are all unconscious that they are being

“Maude is

He did not remember Maude and said

"Oh. yes, you do." his wife replied.
“She was my chum when you come to
see me before we. were married. She
used to plague us by comingin when we
wanted to be alone. Don't you remem-
bet?"
Jack had a dim recollection of :1 little
girl who used to muko' herself "too con»
foundcdly humorous." on Jack bud once
said in u moment of exasperation. but
her face he could not for the time call to
mind.
Every afternoon at 5:34) the train

5:20 Jock cute-rod the lust t':ll‘ with his
grip and hispaper. in the middleof the
week the train was seldom cmwtlml and
often Jock found himself entirely alone
for most of the journey. '
This happened to be one of the days
and Jack stretched himself out comfort-
ably and began to road the paper. The
main line pulled out in is slow and digni-
fied innnuer. Jock saw u flush of white
fly by the window and the next mo-
ment a charming young woman with
dark brown hair. laughing brown eyes
and a juunty blue and white shirt waist
ands red necktie stood in the door. it
vision of summer personified.
She was so extremely pretty that Jack
could not help looking at her again as
she came down the aisle. She caught
hiseyc. it half surprised expression flash-
ed over her face. she paused uncertainly
and then deliberately sat down directly
opposite Jack. She nrruyml her blue
skirt dointily. looked out of the window
and thennt .Tuck, who found himself
stealing a surreptitious glances at her
from the edge of the: pnper which he was
pretending to road. The some little
comedy Was gone through with ugoin.
and this time she smiled slightly but on-
counigingly. nnd Jack smiled buck.
Nay, do not. frown. What would you
have done under the some circumstnn-
cos, oh. stern and moral bonedicts of u
year’s standing?
Atnny ruin. Jock smiled. and then.
with malice uforothought. as he very
wellknew. this pretty girl begun inef-
fectuully to raise the car window. Now
this has been the accepted prelude to cor
flirtatious since the inventions of rail—
roads. and there is good grounds for
thinking that it muy be the rouson why
car windows always stick.
As soon its-Tuck sow her attempts he
gallantly sprang up and offered to help
her. With it charming confusion she ac-
cepted. and after u i'ow vicious tugs the
window came up. and uck out down he-
side the chnrming you or woman. He
was so exhausted that he bud to.
"Oh. thank you so much." she said.
"It is so hard to get these windows up.
As lwns coming through on the muin
train I tried so hard to get one up and
no one adored to help me."
”Have you ever been out this way be-
fore?" he asked.
“Oh. yes. I used to live in Boston or
about here."
"Yes. indeed. [know—wt, that is, 1—-
I do not know any one now. Everybody
has moved away."
"Now. what the thickens made her
blush like that?" thought Jack. as the
young lady suddenly become intensely
interested in the passing landscape. She
turned back again utter a time. but ev-
idently had great dililculty in meeting
her companiou’s eyes.
Every reference to Boston or its vicin-
ity was discouraged with restrained
confusion. Jack made some tactful at-
tempts at getting her name. but every
one was foiled.
“She's a bright girl." said Jack to
himself. “but what makes her want to
giggle all the time "
The train approached Alton Center
and the young lady made preparations
to leave the train. and while it pulled
into the station Jack carried her bag to
the door and wished her s goodby. She

Jack thought it was. and the subject
dropped._ In the evening they wint
over to the Vsn Pluy’e to play whist and
Edith and Mr. Van Plays best Jack and
Mrs. Van Pluys, much to Edith’s de-
light and Jack’s chagrin. for if there is
one thing on which Jack prided himself,
it was his whist and his famous combi-
nation play of the king second hand
which had never failed of its object, but
did fail signally that night.
For some unaccountable reason the
next day did not pose us well for Jack
in the city. Everything seemed to so
wring. His typewriter spoiled two
briefs when they were almost done, and
hedropped his big lnkstond and spilled
all of the ink on tho

office look more cln'cry. When it came
time for him to go :o the

seat with a sigh of relief.
He remembered the affair of the day
ucc nstomed
before and wished that he had told Edith, ‘
and compromised with himself by de-
ciding to tell her when he reached home.
The monotonous rattle of clinking cars
jarred upon him. and he could not read. I
When the train stopped at West Alton
his temper had not improved material-
ly, and when he ran into a fat man with
two grips he did not even beg the fat
man’s pardon, although he knew it was
his own fault. but muttered savagely
something about people not looking
Where they were going.
Edith did not meet him at the gate as
usual, and that irritated him more. As
he neared the little porch he heard the
sound of animated voices. One was
Edith‘s. The other sounded strangely
familiar. Where had he heard it before?
He racked his brain. but could not de-
termine. Ashe opened the door to the
cool. darkened sitting- room. Edith
met him.
"Mnmlo hue comeJack." she fluid. and

Jack said nothing. llcwus swearing.
He was owcnring to himself. Maude
saw that it. hml gone fut‘cnough. and
that it won time for her to spunk.
“('onto. Edith." she said. “Hi con-

Jack bod straightened up when she
began her tale. and when she had fin!
iehsd added emphatically:
“Yes. by George. that's all. Edith. l
was going to tell you all about it to-
night myself."
Edith looked from one to the other
donbtfully. and when she thought of the
uuutterable woe depicted on the face of
poor Jack and his bodquarter of an hour
her sense of humor came to her and she
was forced to smile and was joined by
Maude. who had great difficulty in keep-
lug her face straight for the last fifteen
minutes. and by Jack. upon whom the
smile of Edith had produced a reaction.
They all laughed loudly and long. and
Edith kissed Maude. and than every.
body went in to one of those delightfpl
little dinners for which the strange are
so ustly famous.

THE HERREBHOFFS.
Builders of the Defender. The Blind
Brothers and “their Accomplishments.
It may be said without question that
the people both in this country and on
the other side of the Atlantic learned
more of Bristol, R. L, and its geograph-
ical position in the World during the
early part of July than they ever knew
of it before. . .
This was due to the fact that the new
American yacht. Defender. was built
there by the Isclin-MorgamVanderbilt
syndicate to cross swords. metaphorical-
ly speaking. with the English yacht.
Valkyrie III. for the possession of the
much coveted America's cup.
But. while the interest of the Ameri-
can and English people were concentrw
. ted upon the description given of the
Defender the incidental visitors at Eris~
tol became intensely interested in the
l Herreshofl family. the builders of the
new American yacht.

Herreshofi' works. and of the seven

them know; how interesting the daily
